Plush Moose Crochet Pattern – Around the World
This plush moose crochet pattern is part of my Around the World adventure! The yarn makes it a snuggly plush amigurumi project.
Plush Moose Crochet Amigurumi Pattern Notes
This plush moose crochet pattern is extra cuddly but works up so quickly compared to “traditional” yarn. It sits about 10-12 inches (without the antlers) tall with a simple, but cuddly, chubby body!
This is one of the patterns from our journey Around the World in The Poles- our third stop! This is a trip we are taking together- all without leaving our homes. I do love traveling, but real life gets in the way. Each continent we go to will have 3-4 (but maybe more!) patterns. Once they’re all released, we’ll head to a new stop.
I used Premier Basix Chenille for this pattern- one of my favorites! But you can sub a different yarn if you would like. Just keep in mind that different types of yarn, even if they say they are the same size, work up differently.
The full amigurumi moose pattern is available for free below, just keep scrolling! But, I’m also offering special sale access to the PDF versions of these patterns through the whole journey around the world! You can see all the details here.

video tutorials
These methods are used in this pattern!
Notes:
This moose is the more traditional stuffy, with a defined body and adorably long arms and legs. This is a good sized stuffy, when sitting it is about 10 inches tall. When you use the method I outline in the friendly files (my favorite way to attach plush yarn) the arms and legs are movable!
You can use safety eyes or try out embroidered eyes so it would be safe for a baby/toddler.
I have a collection of embroidery videos here.
YARN NOTES
I used blanket yarn for this pattern, a size 6 weight. I typically use Premier Basix Chenille, Bernat Blanket and Bernat Baby Blanket. I think these are interchangeable size wise. I use a 4.5mm hook for the Premier Basix Chenille and a 5mm for Bernat, which is much smaller than the recommended size on the label, but I want nice, tight stitches for this type of pattern. If this is too tight for you, size up a hook size until you can crochet comfortably but still have tight stitches.
Please be aware that even though the label may say it is size 6, some materials and brands work up much differently. Keep that in mind as you are choosing your yarn.
